The Buddha has stated again and again that the mind is the
creator of all happiness and suffering. He advised us to
control our minds by avoiding nonvirtue and practicing
virtue. He identified those mental functions that are
virtuous and those that are nonvirtuous so that we would
have a chance to succeed. This knowledge has been preserved
by a living tradition and is being made available to us
through a presentation of mind and its functions. Learn how
to control your mind and achieve happiness through knowledge
of how the mind works.
Everyone is welcome!
